  • Alissa from South Korea (9/10)

    This little house is absolutely stunning! It's like a step back in time with the latest amenities. Very quaint, extremely quiet at night, and the bedrooms and living spaces were wonderful. The host was also amazing and extremely helpful!

  • Jo from South Korea (9/10)

    주차하는게 좀 불편하긴 했는데 대도로변에 주차자리있어서 주차했구요 그리고 가족숙소로 이만한곳 없는것같아요!
    4인가족이었고 아이 두명 데리고 숙박했는데
    룸컨디션 너무좋았어요! 한가지아쉬운건 세면대가 아이가 쓰기 높아서 발디딤대 하나 놓아주시면 좋을것같은? 의견 넣어봅니다. 잘쉬다갑니다 다음여행에도 예약할게요^^

  • Baktygul from Kyrgyzstan (7/10)

    Мне понравилось, что в стареньком корейском доме сделали апгрейд и осовременили. Чисто и аккуратно. Хорошая посуда. Очень тепло. Есть подогрев одеяла.
